135 – The narrator’s point here is the type of jihād that, in Allah’s sight, ranks as the greatest deed. The Prophet ﷺ therefore clarified that the jihād he intended and prescribed in her case is the pilgrimage, for the questioner was weak, and pilgrimage is the jihād of every weak person.

136 – In Sahih Muslim⦗1⦘ it is related from Abū Hurayrah that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though goodness exists in both. Be diligent in what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not lose heart. If something afflicts you, do not say, ‘Had I done such-and-such, it would have turned out such-and-such.’ Instead, say, ‘It is Allah’s decree, and He does whatever He wills,’ for ‘if only’ opens the door to Satan’s work.”
